Nut Sedge (AKA Nut grass)

[Letmgrow]

I won't make plans to replant in the fall. I really won't have a need to. The farmer I lease land to is going to be taking the winter wheat he has planted now in the middle of next month. Then he plans on planting turnip, forage radish, sunflower, oats and clover and let the land rest until next spring when he will be planting all 83 acres in soybean. I will have a grand food plot courtesy of him and I can let my food plot sites sit until I can safely replant them. The only reason I planted these two plots was to keep the deer interested until the farmers next planting gets established. I do have some others which are unaffected by the Nut Sedge.
I will be taking a picture of the label when I go after the Yukon. Thanks for the advice.

Sounds like a good farmer to have around!

I feel fortunate to have him partner with me. His farm is 25 miles from here but he leases quite a bit of land in my area and even further away. All no-till.
He also provides me with information on soil amendments, soil tests and yield numbers. Very particular about one field which has a spot designated as "Highly Erodeable". His information is helpful when I turn in my annual reports to my FSA. He and I both have contracts through USDA handled by our local Farm Service Agency.

My latest update.
I have a farmer friend who lives 1 1/2 miles away. I had heard he had battled Nut Sedge so I stopped by last evening and talked with him. He said he had success with "Yukon". https://www.keystonepestsolutions.com/yukon-herbicide-5-pounds-547
This was two years ago but he still has some "Yukon" left. He offered to give me whatever I needed. I'm going back today and take him up on his offer.
I offered to pay him but he refused. He says he still owes me for coordinating the effort to upright his SAME Buffalo tractor after he rolled it onto it's side a few years back when the brakes failed on a steep grade. With the help of a couple other neighbors, a winch equipped D-5 Cat dozer and a 95 HP Case IH tractor a lot of chain and cable we got the SAME back on it's wheels with no further damage.
I went down and helped him get the tractor running a week later.
My plan is to let the plots grow until early fall then Nuke them totally.

That's my kind of story. If someone needs help, help out without asking for or expecting anything in return. And every now and then one of them will get the opportunity to return a favor. People like you are what keeps society going and the world turning around.
